LOST

Shocking...

Auditor General Sheila Fraser is reporting that Canada's border agency has lost track of 41,000 people who have been ordered out of the country. [...]

But hey, they do know where one third are so I guess we should cut them some slack.
[...] Fraser noted that the agency does know the whereabouts of 22,000 of 63,000 people facing formal deportation orders. [...]

Give me a frickin break. If I were only competent at doing one third of my job, something tells me I would be looking for another one in a hell of a hurry. Heads need to roll... metaphorically speaking of course.

How the heck do you go about losing track of 41,000 people? I mean if they were able to count them in the first place then at one time they knew where those 41,000 people were. How can they just vanish? Beamed up on alien space ships perhaps? Well, one can hope!

I just wish they could lose how much I owe in taxes....go figure- we can lose 41,000 people, but not a little 6x9 sheet of paper...

The system here allows these people to walk amongst us while it tries to figure out if they are welcome here or not. By the time they do find out that they are not desirable, they have moved, changed their identity and "disappear". That and they can appeal and appeal and appeal the deportation orders which gives them several more years to walk free amongst us. It is quite the system we have. Great for illegal immigrants, not so great for law abiding people.
